This makes book lists for a reason. It’s a practically perfect fairy tale that is a hoot to read aloud. Get your voices ready for different characters (don’t worry if your country Englishman sounds more like a man from Alabama, ha) and read it with dramatic boldness. It’s sure to captivate your little ones.
The age minimum above is quite flexible, depending on your unique situation. It’s mostly due to the length and older vocabulary. If you’d like to check it out before buying, it’s in the public domain (here). Enjoy!
